Overview


Microsoft Windows Server 2012 Remote Desktop Services

What's new in Windows Server 2012 RDS

The key value that RDS provides is the ability to centralize and control the applications and data that employees need to perform their job from the variety of devices that the employee uses.

Optimized Media Streaming

Adaptive Graphics

Intelligent Transports

Adaptive Network Auto Detect

DirectX11 Support with vGPU

Single Sign-On

Multi Touch

USB Redirection

Overall infrastructure simplification and cost reduction

Cost and complexity is a major roadblock for Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) and hosted desktop deployments of all sizes. In Windows Server 2012 there are many improvements to address this problem, such as:
____________________

Robust Pooled Virtual Desktop Collection model

User Profile Disk

Wide range of high-performance and low cost storage options

Fairshare of resources in RD Session Host

The physical GPU is optional for VDI

Removal of a dedicated RD Session Host server running in redirection mode

Overall management simplification

This is targeted at improving the E2E management experience as well as enabling partner solution creation. Improvements include:
____________________

A single management interface
_____

RDS now includes a single management interface through which you can deploy RDS end to end, monitor the deployment, configure options, and manage all your RDS components and servers.

Scenario-Focused Deployment
_____

The new Server Manager sets up all the roles needed for an RDS deployment, configures each server role correctly to communicate with the other roles, and walks you through creating your first virtual desktop or session collection as well.

Active/Active RD Connection Broker
_____

Two RD Connection Brokers can be combined as a farm to provide both fault tolerance and load balancing. This prevents the broker from being a single point of failure and also allows ?scale out? as load demands.

PowerShell support
_____

All platform functions and capabilities can be controlled through a comprehensive and rich PowerShell layer. IT administrators can use it to build sophisticated automation that helps fit RDS into their IT infrastructure.

Licensing model

Remember that RDS supports both per-user and per-device licensing.

Three deployment choices

Remote Desktop Services in Windows Server 2012 provides a single infrastructure, and consistently great remoting experience even over WAN while offering three deployment choices to reduce the cost appropriate to the needs of the user. The administration is simplified and platform hooks are provided for partner extension to provide additional value and solutions.

Move to new hardware if needed
_____

You'll need to purchase RDS Client Access Licenses (CALs) and install them on the RD Licensing server. These RDS CALs are tied to the server, but RDS lets you move them to new hardware if needed.

Choose right model
_____

The model you choose should depend on whether you have more users or computers. RDS does not have concurrent-user licensing, and the licenses you choose must match the mode for which you configure the RD Session Host server.

Licensing Requirements

You must have a license for each connecting user or device to connect to an RD Session Host server.
____________________

  • Once the licensing grace period is past, you must have a license for each connecting user or device to connect to an RD Session Host server.
  • You'll also need to install an RD Licensing server.
  • You can install the RD Licensing role service on the same server the service isnt very demanding or on a separate server.

After installation

Install the RD Licensing role service just as you did the RD Session Host role service. Then you must:
____________________

Activate the RD Licensing server
Install RDS CALs so the RD Licensing server can allocate them to users and devices
Tell the RD Session Host server to use the RD Licensing server
* You must do this even if the two role services are located on the same machine

Virtualize an RD Session Host server

Note that
_____

  • You can virtualize an RD Session Host server, but youll likely see a reduction in the number of simultaneous sessions it can support. Be sure to model on the same machine type (physical or virtual) you intend to use.

Minimize cost
_____

  • If you do build a virtual RD Session Host server, you should probably use a server with a processor supporting second-level address translation (SLAT) to reduce the overhead of memory mapping between the physical machine and the VMs. To reduce overhead, its also advisable to use a Type 1 hypervisor like Hyper-V, not a Type 2.

Using it since 2013

Consistent UI and configuration that means multiple generations of product don't require relearning to transition. Huge community and history of people finding the same problem you have encountered so fixes are often easy to find. We have been using Microsoft Windows Server 2012 Remote Desktop - 5 Device CALs for different projects since about 2013. Even though we are a small business, we still have a big need for an enterprise level DBMS. We have some business management systems and even our website using SQL Server Standard. I do like that windows server is very easy to manage and there's a lot of tech information out there to fix any issues that come up. The updates are easy and I don't really have to worry much about reliability or speed because if those issues do come up, I get notified immediately if utilization is higher than it's supposed to be.

I like the simplicity, but some registering issues are annoying

Encryption and compression for backups to saves money on the third-party tools previously. Database performance on Microsoft Windows Server 2012 Remote Desktop - 5 Device CALs is better than previous version. Integrated, encrypted backup to normal automatically. I would say the licensing is difficult, but that was changed years ago. I can't say there's anything I dislike about Microsoft Windows Server 2012 Remote Desktop - 5 Device CALs. I extremely like the simplicity with which you can roll out table improvements, take a gander at the information put away inside table, and utilize SQL to do everything. Likewise, SQL profiler has been so useful in explaining many issues. I am working a lot with this program and I can't stop utilizing it.
